too much frightened. l held my
breath and shrank within myself.
Every instant l expected to feel
knife or a spear thrust into my
body. My feet were on the ground
and without knowing what l was
doing, l gave strong push with
my breast. Finding something

and up a steep slope oftwo or three
feet, when I found myself bound

meadow with a great contrivance of
basket work suspended from my
hips and extending yard or more
on all sides. l looked for all the
world as if | had donned huge
hoop skirt. While making mo-

myself from the curious machine
around me, cast my eyes back

two or three naked children scramb-
ling out of the hole from which l
had just made my escape. Yell

dashed away as fast as their legs

nearest hills. By the time l had

THE STANLEY EXPEDITION.

Satisfactory Progress to March 25-Staniey's
Plans for the Immediate Future.
BRUSSELS April 25-Advices from the STAN
ley expedition for the relief of Emin Bey have
been received from Matilda, on the Congo river,
dated March 25. From these it is learned that
the steamer Maruda, which carried Stanley
from Zanzibar. was unable to ascend the Congo
to Matilda. The expedition landed at Banana
Point and re-embarked, on March Is, aboard
vessels belonging to the International Associa-
tion, which were awaiting the expedition. Next
day the expedition anchored at Bona, the seat
of the general administration of the Congo Free
State. Mr.. Stanley was confident of the sue
cess of his enterprise. and hoped that by June
he would be able to render effectual assistance
to Emin Bey. The Congo Association had ar
ranged to victual the expedition from Matilda to
Leopoldvue From Stanley Pool Mr.. Stanley
hoped to march rapidly and to surprise the ene-
mics hedging Emin Bey The expedition left
Bona on March 81 and arrived at Matilda on the
22d. and there disembarked, the river being un-
navigable thence to Leopoldville on account
OF Livingstone Falls. The expedition was to
proceed foot for eighteen days along the falls
and expected to reach Leopoldville April IT,
where Mr.. Stanley to be met by farmers
belonging to Congo State The English and
French mission stations of the upper Congo have
also been requested to place their two steamers
at his service. The alliance with Tiproo Tip
and the appointment of him to the governorship
of Stanley Falls is regarded by the expedition

the budget he fully concurred. He quored from
speeches made by Mr.. Goschen, in 1885. in sup
port OF Mr. Gladssone's financial policy. He
declared that Mr. Goschen's budget had quashed
all his hopes of public economy. A iudicious
budget would have reduced the military ex-
pendltures without impairiuc the efficiency OF
the army. He trusted that Mr. Goschen would
assent To a reconsideration of his proposals,
amending them on the basis of wiser finance.
MI Goscnen said be felt that the opslauehts
made upon him by the great veteran of financial
orthodoxy and the latest brilliant recruit of the
financial corps required prompt reply First,
as to local loans, he promised to consider the OBJ
lections to the issuing of new stock for loans.
with reference to the tobacco duties he defended
the reduction of the duty on the ground that the
increase had not answered expectations, having
checked consumption while it failed to bring the
anticipated revenue. He was confident that IN a
few years the loss arising from the current years
reduction would be recovered. Mr.. Gladstone
nad attacked the proposals to reduce the income
TAX and TO suspend portion of the sinking fund
as against recognized principles of finance. He
Mr. Goschen could see no force in this general
charge In taking penny off the income tax
Inc government would benefit class upon whom
there was much pecuniary pressure He ad-
hered to all his former views to the desirabii-
~ or reducing the national debt, but he contend
ed that his present proposals to relieve tax pay
ers. and maintain the strength of tho army aud
navy, were more real economies than those sug-
gested by his opponents.
Mr.. Cremer, Radical, asked Mr.. Goschen if he
knew that the reduction of the duty on tobacco
would throw out of employment several thou
sand men engaged in the tobacco trade in Lon
don.
Mr.. Goschen replied that he had arranged to
confer on that subject with delegates from the
workmen themselves
1t is generally thought that Mr. Gadstone's
attack upon Mr.. Goschens financial xplans will
cause the government to modify its local-loan
proposals, and probably it's proposals relative to
the tobacco duties. but it is believed that the
main features of the sinking fund and income
tax reductions will be maintained.

THE BRITISH BUDGET,
MIR. Gladstone Severely Criticises Mr.. Gosch
ems Financial Proposals.

MIR. Gladstone Severely CritIcises Mr. Gosch-
ems Financial Proposals.
LONDON, April 25.-In the House Of Commons
Mr.. Gladstone contended that the main proposals
of the budget were at variance with sound inan-
cial principles. Instead of being the humdrum
budget which Mr. Goschen promised, it was one
to te remembered in the future for good or for
evil. If there was anything good in it the
Unonists would have the credit. and upon them
would rest the responsibility for whatever was
Objectionable Among the proposals of the
budget was one to change stamp duties. which
would facilitate business upon local loans He
would, meantime, give unfavorabe opinion,
except to say that the concurrent creation of new
per cent stock would be q great disadvantage
Regarding the tobacco duties. it was easier to
reduce the duty than to get rid of it. The man
ufacturer of tobacco would certainly be oene-
flied, but the reduction would never reach the
consumer. Regarding the income tax the
reduction of penny per pound would doubtless
be peculiar boon. At the same time
the proposal was against sound financial
principles. because such reduction should
arise from a rigid system of public economy. not
at the expense of the sinking fund The House
had been asked to reduce the fund from f7. 000,-
600 to f5, 100000 Serious reflection could not
warrant proceeding opposed to the tradi-
tons, SO contrary to the interests of the British
nation. 1t was the first time that proposal of
this nature had been made in the history of the
country, and it was made when the country
becoming richer than ever before. He believed
the country was adding about 100 900 900 pounds
yearly to its savings, yet they were asked to
shrink from the very moderate effort that had
hitherto been made to provide sinking fund in
pursuance Of aswse. broad policy that was sup
ported by all financial authority. He hoped Mr..
Goschen would not reply at once. but give the
house chance of hearing his impartial judg-
ment upon the matter apart from political or
party issues. Cheers.
Mr.. Goschen said he would reply later, If Mr..
Gladstone were present
Lord Randolph Churchill praised the 'weighty
remarks" of Mr. Gladstone. Speaking as a
true friend of the government, he must con-

A WARM QUARREL.

The Fight Over the Parnell Letter-The
Times Reiterates Its Charges.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, April 25-The fight over Mr.. Par
nells alleged letter, published by the Times,
grows hotter every day. The Times, noticing
the public excitement on the subject, declares
that the question Of the authenticity of the let
ter has been thoroughly sifted, with the result
that it is convinced the letter is a genuine COM
munication from Mr.. Parne and that it bears
Mr.. Parnell's signature. Mr.. Parnel is de-
noanced as the apostle of the dynamiters of
America, whose footsteps are dogged by crime.
Public opinion is appealed to not to allow judc-
ment against Mr. Parnell to 60 by default.
Many Liberals are uneasy at the attitude of the
Parnelites, and state that it will be i'm
possible to act with the Irish party any longer
unless Mr. Parnell conclusivey proves his in
nocence of the charge brought against him By
the Times.
In the House of Commons, this evening" Mr..
ST. ). Broderick, Conservative member for Gull
ford, in reply to direct question from Mr.. Sex
ton, stated that he had in recent speech, al
luded to the fac-simile letter published in the
Times as ''AIr. Parnel's letter" and stated.that
whenever be might have occasion to refer TO IL
in his speeches he would continue, in the alb
sence of any action in court of law on the part
of Mr.. Parnell to prove it was not his letter. to
so designate it. 1t was now popular to allude to
it as "Mr. Parnells letter." and the justice of
the appellation could be safely left to the arma-
tion of the House or the country.
Mr.. Sexton said he thought, in view of the
fact that Mr.. Parnell had denied the authenticity
of the publication, that Mr.. Broderick, in de-
scribIug it as "Parnell's letter." was guilty of a
breach of privilege. inasmuch as such designa-
tion was tantamount to imputing falsehood TO
Mr.. Parnell
The Speaker said that Mr.. Brol rick had not
referred to anything that Mr. Parnell had said
or done in the House Of Commons and therefore
his characterization of the letter did not come
within the definition of breach of privilege
